The U.S. judge presiding over the case of former Goldman Sachs Group Inc banker Roger Ng delayed the start of his fraud trial to Feb. 7 from Jan. 24, citing the recent spike of omicron variant Covid cases.

Ng, a former managing director for Goldman in Malaysia, is accused of conspiring with financier Jho Low and others to embezzle at least $2.7 billion from sovereign wealth fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad.
